Summary

This trial is comparing the two different models of care for pediatric trauma patients to see which one is better.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children under 18 with acute injuries needing a transfer consultation from smaller hospitals to UC Davis's specialized departments. It aims to improve the experience and outcomes for these young patients and their families.
What is being tested?
The study compares standard phone consultations with a new Virtual Pediatric Trauma Center (VPTC) that uses live video calls, assessing which method better supports injured children and their families.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves service delivery methods rather than medications, there are no direct medical side effects. However, differences in care quality or family stress levels may be observed.
